The Urban Renewal Project has been kicking around the Pacific Coast for the better part of four years, using the instruments of a bygone era to create a signature sound that blurs the boundaries between pop, soul, jazz and hip-hop. The band’s dynamic live performances have captivated listeners and brought audiences to their feet in packed rooms from The House of Blues in LA to Rockwood Music Hall in NYC. With the combined vocal talents of jazz singer Aubrey Logan and freestyle rap virtuoso Elmer Demond, the URP is back with its sophomore release in Local Legend. The album’s nine original tracks draw from an eclectic variety of styles—including R&B, swing, and West African highlife—while remaining unified by the melodic ear worms and hip-shaking grooves that characterize the group’s sound. Their debut release, Go Big or Go Home (2012), was called “one of the most exciting hybrid releases to come along in some time,” and the follow-up does not disappoint. Local Legend will be available September 23, 2014 on Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, and everywhere else!
